Map of terraformed Venus (2022)

This map, created by Reddit user Cactus Cartocratus, shows the hypothetical situation of Venus if it were terraformed.

In this fictional work, it is assumed that Venus would be flooded with a volume of water proportional to that existing on Earth, and that its climate would change to resemble that of Earth. The seas are represented in blue, with a more intense colour in the deepest regions. The other colours show the landmasses with the climates indicated in the legend.

For the place names, the author has chosen existing names for geographical features on Venus. Some of the rivers correspond to existing valleys, although more have been added to give coherence to the final result.
